Things we don't have:
- plot
Things we do have:
- Sexual tension
- Lots of traveling (is there a "only one horse" trope?)
- Casteel once again murdering people for Poppy
- Weirdly sexual but hot scenes of Casteel drinking Poppy's blood
- Kieran and Casteel obvi being ready for a threesome
- Casteel caring for Poppy's wounds *sobs*
- yeah i think that's it

I have so many thoughts swirling around my head at the moment but I have to say, this book got better further in. It picks up right where FBAA ends and starts off pretty slow. There's a decent chunk of lore and world building and I feel a lot more internal dialogue and turmoil than the first but it was exceptionally well done. I love a good slow burn romance and this one hits the mark.
Poppy is such an amazing and strong character and I am loving to see how much her powers have developed and what's in store for her. She's such a badass, and even though I found her a little whiney and annoying in the beginning of this book, she definitely has redeemed herself.
Cas may or may not be my new book boyfriend by the time this series is over, but we shall see what the future holds in store. (02/2024)
